Get ready for re-engergised and re-invigorated Food & Drink Expo in 2021

Important Update

The UK Food Shows will now take place on 12-14 April 2021 at the NEC Birmingham. Our exhibitor and visitor safety has always been our biggest concern and for this reason the UK Food Shows will now be postponed until April 2021, when the industry can reunite at the NEC.

For over two decades Food & Drink Expo has provided a vibrant platform to touch, taste and experience an exciting and eclectic mix of undiscovered brands and household names alike.

One of the UK’s largest and most well-respected food and drink focused trade exhibitions, Food & Drink Expo is an event for the grocery, food service, wholesale, manufacturing and speciality retail markets.

Brought to you by the William Reed family of market-leading events, publications and awards, Food & Drink Expo is the trade show for our flagship publication The Grocer and draws on the power of its rich 157-year heritage.

What did our 2018 Visitors Say?

“This is a time of reinvention for retailers and there’s nowhere better to come than somewhere like this. To see that reinvention, to see the new products, to see the new ways of displaying products, to look at a lot of the new services and the new tech offers and go back and think again about how you are going to develop your business over the next 5 or 10 years.”

Lord Mark Price, Former MD

"It's been really busy. Having lots of interesting conversations with people, it’s going really well. Because we’re Bottlegreen we need to be at places like this to have a presence to meet new people, to get contacts but also just to share our story of Bottlegreen and how important we are to other people’s businesses.”

Jessica Gray, Marketing Manager, Bottlegreen Drinks (SHS Drinks)

"We've done really well so far and it's only day one and we've already got two or three potential customers. Its' been beyond expectation and we've had a great day."

John Dorrian, Manager, Smithy Mushrooms

"I've had the people I wanted coming to my stand, so I'm really happy. I like that there are retailers and really big buyers here as you don't often get the opportunity to meet them. We've met some big names today and it's only day one. I'll definitely be coming back!"
